Week Summary
Reflection on Practice - The presentations by academic staff this week was useful to start giving me ideas at how I might present my own paper later this semester. Need to take the research work I did last Semester and develop it and go into greater depth for this Semester. Also maybe what might help is to focus my research topic down even further as to allow for more detailed research.
Advanced Production - Lots of team discussions this week to go over the idea that I developed near the end of last Semester for the film. As it was quite later on in last Semester we have some pre-production work to catch up on. The story needs a lot of development, also the look and style of the film will need decided. The Supervisor meeting mid-week helped to set out some goals for us to achieve for the next Supervisor Meeting in 3 weeks.
Going Live - With the launch of Going Live this week, mostly brainstorming of ideas and discussion of team roles have taken place. All details of my work for the Going Live project will be posted to a separate and private blog for the time-being because this is a industry-set project, which will be treated like a real world industry project. Once the project has been completed and permission given, and of my work from this project will be available to view by the public.

Monday 13th Jan
Programme Meeting:
Discussed the Belbin workshop that will happen in a few weeks. It's a test that evaluates your personality with group dynamics. Should be interesting even though we will already have sorted out our groups and roles by then.
The Going Live project this year will be more Animation focused than VFX. Need to think about what type of roles I would like to do for that project by next week. Think I know already though - definitely animation!
Need to organize a team meeting with Supervisor.
Since I was absent from Uni last week, I had my feedback meeting with Phil today to go over my results and work from last semester. One piece of feedback was that our group needs to assign roles.
Had a quick team meeting with Kirti and Sheng who were in the studio. We spoke about what roles each of us wanted to do for our film. Also discussed the need to create animatics this semester. I'll also be taking some reference photos of my own garden and dog to help with designs, inspiration and references. Organised to have a full team meeting tomorrow.

Thursday 16th Jan
Today the Going Live Brief was given out and explained. Phil explained the brief to us and showed some reference clips.
We have to think about what roles we each want withing the team, which will be locked down on Monday. The rough production roles should be sent to Phil before then.
Start gathering reference.
Try an 'elevator pitch' of our idea - a short and concise paragraph of our story idea.
After the brief was given out we had a big class brain storming session to come up with and discuss initial ideas. We seemed to come up with quite a lot of ideas so some more research and references into the subject of the brief will be needed.
